a

Odds ratios are adjusted for child’s birth year, father’s race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, other) and father’s educational level (< high school, high school/some post high school, college graduate) except as follows; the ORs for demographic characteristics are adjusted for the other demographic characteristics, i.e.. the OR for non-white race/ethnicity is adjusted for birth year and father’s educational level, the OR for college graduate or higher is adjusted for birth year and father’s race/ethnicity, and the OR for income ≥ $35,000 is adjusted for father’s race/ethnicity and father’s educational level

b

OR odds ratio

c

CI confidence interval

d

Exposures/characteristics pertain to the father in the year before the index pregnancy except that the time period for history of lower GI series is any time prior to the index child’s conception.

Binge drinking was defined as consuming 6 or more drinks on one occasion
